Bell Obelisk, Chartiers Cemetery

- Posted in Chartiers Cemetery by

Bell obelisk

A marble obelisk for a family of early settlers in the Chartiers Valley, where the family has taken full advantage of all the surfaces offered for inscription. The cemetery opened in 1861, so it is probable that family members who died before then have not been interred here, but are remembered here as part of family tradition.
